Ben McGlynn (born 6 August 1985) is an Australian rules football player playing for the Hawthorn Football Club.

A small onballer, McGlynn was picked late in the 2006 rookie draft after impressing at the Box Hill Hawks the VFL affliated club with the Hawks.

McGlynn is a courageous midfielder with balance, speed and strength. He excelled for Box Hill at VFL level and is a centre clearance specialist who will only improve as he builds his fitness to AFL standards. McGlynn lacks height and polish with his disposal, but is hard at it and good in close.

During the 2006 season McGlynn made his debut against the Bulldogs in Round 10, in which he kicked a goal. He continued to play three more at senior level and did OK as a small forward. He was promoted to the seniors list at the end of the 2006 season. In 14 games for Box Hill during the 2006 season he featured in the best players eight times.

In 2007 McGlynn played 21 games for Hawthorn after injured skipper Richie Vandenberg left an opening in the midfield. A speedy small player he had an impact on the games for the beginning and middle of the season but slipped slightly in form in the end of the season.
